Call Schuette to Revoke Line 5 Easement

The Canadian oil transport company, Enbridge, knew that the coating on their Line 5 pipeline has been damaged for at least three years. But time and time again, they have lied by telling us and the State of Michigan that their pipeline that runs through the heart of the Great Lakes is in "like new condition."

Stop the Lies - Shut down Line 5

The State says they are frustrated by the Enbridge lies. But that is not enough. Attorney General Bill Schuette has the authority - today - to shut down the pipeline. It's not enough to be frustrated. Now is the time for him to act.

Monday, November 6 is a day of action. Make a phone call to AG Schuette and report your call below. It's time for all of us to demand that he revoke Enbridge's easement to use the Great Lakes and begin the process of decommissioning Line 5 now.

Will You Make the Call?

Call AG Schuette's office: 517-373-1110

Use the following TALKING POINTS to help develop your message:

Enbridge has repeatedly been caught with a failing, incurable Line 5 which it can no longer fix, and is covering it up. Last week they admitted they knew about missing protective coating in 2014 and didn't tell the state until this year.

It's a double standard to give this company chance after chance to comply with the law when the average citizen doesn't get such breaks.

The Attorney General has the authority and mandate to revoke the easement under which Enbridge is operating -- the public owns the waters and Enbridge is a guest. It’s up to Enbridge to prove it can operate It's time for the Attorney General to act.

we cannot risk oil contaminating our Great Lakes. My babies and their babies and generations and generations of people need our great water. Let’s keep our water pure, because the way the world is going now, water may be all we have and end up with.

November 6 DAY OF ACTION. Make the call to AG Schuette. Shut Down Line 5! Please join me in making the phone call!

I asked the woman who answered if she had time for my whole spiel or if I needed only to say “Enbridge”. She said I could say whatever I wanted so I gave her the whole bit. She was polite. I thanked her and wished her a good day and she responded in like.

The person who answered my call was short with me, almost on the rude side.

I called an spoke directly with someone in Bill Schutte’s office. My comments included requesting that Bill Schutte begin the process to decommission Line 5, that he revoke the easement, and stressed the hardship on Michigan tourism, recreational interests, and businesses/commerce should there be an oil spill.
